Library of Celsus, Ephesus

The projection-mapping experience developed for the iconic Celsus Library as part of the Ministry of Culture’s Cultural Heritage Night Museum initiative redefines how historical monuments can communicate with contemporary audiences.
Drawing from the layered history of Ephesus, the project transforms the library into an immersive narrative surface — tracing its journey from a sanctuary of knowledge housing thousands of manuscripts to a structure that endured centuries of natural disasters and fires. Through spatial storytelling and large-scale digital scenography, the experience activates the monument as a living medium rather than a static artifact.
More than a visual spectacle, the project recontextualizes cultural memory through technology, celebrating the enduring legacy of knowledge and its ability to transcend time, destruction, and historical boundaries while reconnecting modern audiences with one of humanity’s most significant centers of learning.
